SUMMARY:USPS Bluegrass Stamp Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:What:\nThe U.S. Postal Service will commemorate the rich history of bluegrass music in the United States. The stamp dedication ceremony will occur before Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame inductee Ricky Skaggs’ concert.\nNews of the stamp is being shared with the hashtag #BluegrassStamp.\nWho:\nThe Honorable Robert M. Duncan\, Member\, Postal Service Board of Governors\nWhen:\nFriday\, March 15\, 2024\, at 6 p.m. Central time zone\nWhere:\n\nBluegrass Music Hall of Fame & Museum (bluegrasshall.org)\n311 W 2nd St\nOwensboro\, KY 42301\n\n\n				\n	About the Stamp: \nBorn in the mid-20th century\, bluegrass defies time\, drawing inspiration from the past while also openly embracing innovation. At once rural and urban\, emotional and highly technical\, this singular American music style remains unconstrained by geography\, attracting fans worldwide who all share the same passion for what they affectionately call the “high lonesome sound.” \nInspired by vintage bluegrass concert posters\, the stamp art features four acoustic string instruments typical of bluegrass bands: guitar\, five-string banjo\, fiddle\, and mandolin. Text at the top of the stamp reads “High Lonesome Sound\,” the title of a 1963 documentary about Appalachian folk music and a familiar nickname for bluegrass. \nThe five-string banjo dominates the sound of bluegrass and\, along with guitar\, mandolin\, and bass\, sets the rhythmic foundation of this often fast-paced music. Fiddle\, mandolin\, banjo\, and guitar evoke a range of melodic flavors and emotions in their solos and backup. Instrumental dexterity\, combined with tight vocal harmonies and heartfelt\, sometimes mournful lyrics\, creates an electrifying and emotional experience for both performers and listeners. \nMusic historians generally agree that bluegrass as we know it originated with Bill Monroe (1911-1996)\, who drew on old-time fiddle and church music as well as gospel\, blues\, and jazz to fashion a style of music that was both brand-new and achingly familiar. By 1945\, Monroe and his band\, the Blue Grass Boys\, had solidified the key components of bluegrass: refined vocal harmonies\, driving tempos\, and outstanding musicianship. \nOnce viewed as a type of country music\, bluegrass-which musicologist Alan Lomax famously described as “folk music with overdrive”-emerged as its own distinct genre in the 1950s. Soon the music could be found just about everywhere\, from college campuses and large urban areas to television shows and movies. Outdoor festivals became a mainstay of bluegrass in the 1970s\, a period when the music took off in new directions as bands eagerly incorporated influences from rock and pop. \nToday\, although bluegrass enjoys relatively little radio exposure\, the music continues to thrive. The nonprofit International Bluegrass Music Association was founded in 1985\, a bluegrass category was added to the Grammy Awards in 1989\, and the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame was founded in Owensboro\, Kentucky\, in 1991. Billboard launched its bluegrass albums chart in 2002\, two years after the wildly popular soundtrack to the film O Brother\, Where Art Thou? introduced bluegrass to yet another generation of fans. Today\, bluegrass festivals held around the world\, like the Telluride Bluegrass Festival in Colorado and Bluegrass Live! in North Carolina\, draw thousands of fans every year. \nArt director Antonio Alcalá worked with designer and illustrator Heather Moulder to produce the stamp art. \nThe Bluegrass stamp is being issued as a Forever® stamp. This Forever stamp is always equal in value to the current First-Class Mail® one-ounce price. \n	Postal Products  \nCustomers may purchase stamps and other philatelic products through the Postal Store at usps.com/shopstamps\, by calling 844-737-7826\, by mail through USA Philatelic or at Post Office locations nationwide. For officially licensed stamp products\, shop the USPS Officially Licensed Collection on Amazon. \n—– \nThe United States Postal Service is an independent federal establishment\, mandated to be self-financing and to serve every American community through the affordable\, reliable and secure delivery of mail and packages to 167 million addresses six and often seven days a week. Overseen by a bipartisan Board of Governors\, the Postal Service is implementing a 10-year transformation plan\, Delivering for America\, to modernize the postal network\, restore long-term financial sustainability\, dramatically improve service across all mail and shipping categories\, and maintain the organization as one of America’s most valued and trusted brands. \nThe Postal Service generally receives no tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage\, products and services to fund its operations. \nFor USPS media resources\, including broadcast-quality video and audio and photo stills\, visit the USPS Newsroom.

SUMMARY:East Nash Grass
DESCRIPTION:Join us February 5th\, 2022 for East Nash Grass!  Doors open at 6 pm\, and the concert begins at 7 pm.  Bar and concessions available.  This concert takes place on the Owensboro Health Lobby Stage.  Seating is general admission.  At this time\, no covid-19 restrictions will be in place for this concert. \nFeaturing a who’s-who of Nashville’s hottest young pickers\, the band was first founded as a part-time pickup gig band in 2017 before transforming into a more serious project just prior to the first closures of COVID in 2020. Since then\, the band has been honing their voice — writing original songs collaboratively and as individuals\, breathing fresh life into well-worn standards\, and playing gigs together however and whenever they safely can. \nThat voice shines through on this wholly self-produced project — defined by the playful brassy flare of banjo riffs and dobro slides balanced against a warm and stable low-end. Notable on the album is the band’s tender take on the themes commonly found in bluegrass\, largely avoiding the machismo that dominates so much of the traditional sound. Aided by the presence of warmer baritone vocals (as opposed to the strained high tenors so reified by the genre)\, the East Nash Grass has settled into a sound that feels grounded but not weighed down\, and virtuosic without being flashy. \nTickets are on sale now.  General admission tickets are $20. \n			\n							GET TICKETS\n					\n	Lobby Series Bundled Ticket\nJoin us for three concerts in our February Lobby Series and receive a $10 discount!  Individual concert tickets are $20 each\, but if you bundle all three the price is $50.  A Lobby Series Bundled Ticket includes the following concerts: \n\nFebruary 5th – East Nash Grass\nFebruary 12th – The Kody Norris Show\nFebruary 26th – Brennen Leigh\n\nAfter you complete your purchase for the Lobby Series Bundled Ticket\, you’ll receive a separate email with your individual concert tickets.  For all concerts\, doors open at 6 pm\, and the show starts at 7 pm.  Bar and concessions will be available.  Seating is general admission. \n			\n							LOBBY SERIES TICKET
